Francis Coquelin won't rush into signing a new deal with Arsenal.
The Mail on Sunday says Coquelin will make Arsene Wenger sweat on his offer of a new contract by waiting to see if he is still in the first team when Jack Wilshere returns from injury next month.
Coquelin is out of contract in the summer and his outstanding performance in the 2-0 win at Manchester City last weekend means that he is now being courted by Premier League rivals and by clubs in his native France.
Arsenal have offered the holding midfielder a new deal but with the club lining up a summer bid for Borussia Dortmund's Ilkay Gundogan, with Wilshere back from injury in mid February and with Mikel Arteta expected to sign a one-year extension, Coquelin's first- team opportunities look limited.
